Much needed shop addition has started.

[Steve Clardy]

I was planning this addition this fall, but here it is. I have my youngest son doing the work as he's between jobs. He's a framer by trade.
This 16x64 addition will add 1024 sq. feet to my shop.
Thw front 16' will be the wifes loom room. She has 5 rug looms in the house, so this will free up some space in the house.
The next 16' will be my spray room. Very much needed, as will cut down on the dust when I'm finishing.
The last 32' will be my mechanical shop. This will let me get all my mechanical stuff and a 78 F-100 stepside resto project out of my main shop.
After Daniel got the forms up, it took 4 loads of gravel and a skidsteer to get er ready for a floor. Called a concrete finish man and got the floor poured tuesday. After three days of rain, Daniel is setting up the walls today.

Looking good, Steve. Having those dedicated areas will really spruce up the operation, as well as make for more convenience. It's nice that your lovely will also benefit through having some dedicated space for her work, too.

You are not playing fair Steve!

Your shop was already outstanding, and now you’re adding another 1000+ square feet!

Boy, with all these new shops getting started/expanded, I’m really getting depressed!!

[David Rose]

That's great Steve! I'm happy for you. I'll bet you will be tickled when it's done. That's a nice addition, and it couldn't happen to a better guy.

I'm sure you will make good use of the extra space. As a full time woodworker your needs are a bit different than us hobbiests and you will work more efficiently with the extra space. As icing on the cake, the majority of the thing will be tax deductible. Make sure to keep us up to date on the progress.

The addition is looking great - keep up with the great photos.
It's wonderful to have a son named "Daniel" - what a legacy! All great men (ah-hmmm!) are named Daniel.

Great addition Steve. Actually your addition is bigger than my shop of 330.75 SQ. .FT

I started on making my shop bigger this morning cleaning cleaning cleaning.

It may only be bigger in SQ. IN. but at least thats more elbow room.
